Relacore Review (UPDATED 2017): Don't Buy Before You Read This!

Otherwise known as the Belly Fat Pill.

What is it?

Relacore is a weight loss brand claiming to offer a noticeable reduction in belly fat. It says it will provide potent effects by targeting how the body deals with stress, which is a known trigger for weight gain.

It claims to be America’s number #1 brand, with over 12.7 million bottles sold. Other benefits include reduced fatigue, increased energy, improved mood, and a reduction in anxiety. It’s also meant to be used alongside any diet, as it provides a overall benefit for weight loss. So are all these claims actually true? What do customers have to say about Relacore? In this full review you’ll learn exactly what this supplement has to offer.

It’s because of these reasons, that it’s impossible to judge what kind of an effect it may have on health.

Yellow 6 Lake: This petroleum extracted dye provides a orange like color. It has been banned and or restricted in Sweden, Finland, and Norway due to health concerns.

According to the Center for Science in the Public Interest:

“Yellow 6, are contaminated with known carcinogens”

“Yellow 6 have long been known to cause allergic reactions in some people”

They have called on the FDA to ban this ingredient, since much like other food colorings, it has no nutritonla value.

Red 40 Lake: This red dye has no nutritional value, and is only added to give a certain color to this product. Some evidence has shown that this ingredient may cause allergies, ADHD symptoms, and possibly even DNA damage.

It was also baned in France, Belgium, Switzerland, and other countris due to health concenrs.

Blue 1 & Blue 2 Lake: 2 food colorings which provide a blue tint. It’s known that blue 1 is poorly absorbed, with around 95% remaining in the stool.

The FDA warned about the use of this ingredient by saying:

“Toxicity, including death, has been associated with the use of FD&C Blue No.1”

Blue 2 has also been shown to be dangerous if inhaled. Also, it’s a skin and eye irritant that requires safety goggles and lab coats to handle.

EDITOR’S TIP: Combine this supplement with a proven fat burner such as Sletrokor for better results.

Relacore Quality of Ingredients

There are multiple possible side effects which may result from these ingredients. None of these additives have been proven to be effective according to quality clinical studies.

The issue with this brand is that even though its active ingredients are natural, there’s a posiiblity for severe side effets. It may potently cause symptoms such as fatigue, thyroid problems, hormone issues, mood swings, tremors, and many other problems.

The manufacturers fail to offer any proof that this formula would be safe and effective. This is particularly and isuse for this brand, since as you’ll see in the “ Business of Relacore” section, this company has been subject to multiple controversies with the FDA, FTC, and class action lawsuits.

The Price and Quality of Relacore

A single order of their Relacore Extra sells for $29.99 which offers 24 servings.

All the ingredients added to this formual have not been proven via clinical studies to be both safe and effective. The problem with this, is that there’s a possibility for several possible side effects even when the ingredients are used individually.

There’s also a high amount of stabilizers, food coloring, and processed ingredients. This makes this a poor choice for a supplement. Taking these types of ingredients will have unknown results. There’s a lack of quality evidence to show this mixture would be safe.

Business of Relacore

The company is owned by Carter-Reed Company. They can be reached via the following:

Phone Number: (800) 898-5153

Address: 5742 Harold Gatty Drive

Salt Lake City, Utah 84116

They say they offer a 30 day money back guarantee, as long as you pay for shipping and handling and return the empty bottle.

Relacore was involved in a class action lawsuit. They were fined for making false health claims about this brand. People were allowed a return if they purchased this brand during a certain period.

The FDA also sent them a warning letter showing that they made false claims about Relacore including:

“FDA has no information that your products are generally recognized as fsafe and effective”

EDITOR’S TIP: For the best results, our experts recommend using weight loss pills for at least 3 months. Save your money by buying a few bottles at once.

Customer Opinions of Relacore

Here are some reviews listed on their Amazon.com page from certified customers:

“Made me sick to my stomach for 4 days”

“I didn’t find these work”

“I just didn’t see any results with this”

“I tried it for several months, no satisfaction”

There are a large amount of negative reviews from users. Many people felt there was no change in weight, or any other benefits to this. Some people did experience an increase in energy, but there were also customers who had serious side effects.

Some reported issues include rapid heart rate, anxiety, jitters, and insomnia. Though it’s unknown what kinds of ingredients would cause this effect, since there are no stimulants.

Conclusion - Does Relacore Work?

Befoe making a final decision on Relacore, it’s important to look at the company history, kinds of reviews, and what kind of evidence is provided. The manufacturers fail to offer any proof that these ingreidents work. The problem is that in researching these additives, there has been a lack of studied performed. None of these ingredients have been proven to be both safe and effective. Many customers have also failed to see any benefit. There have also been lawsuits filed against them by the FTC, and the FDA also asked them to stop making false weight loss claims for Relacore.

This all natural supplement has no artificial colors, preservatives, or unnecessary additives. It’s made with pure plant extracts which have been shown to be effective. Many testimonials are offered from satisfied customers who have lost significant amounts of weight. People also mention that they achieved this without side effects, of which you can read about on the company’s official website.

It made my hair start falling out the first week into it. I didn't realize it was the pills until I googled it. Too bad because it helped with my mood.

I have been overweight all my life and my doctor asked me if I wanted to die, if not I HAD to lose weight. He even suggested bariatric surgery which I refused. I went from 332 lbs to 250lbs but this belly isn't going anywhere. I bought my first bottle today and I'm excited to see what the results will be! I understand that not everything works for everyone and honestly if it doesn't work it's not the end of the world. Its $20 be honest we spend more than that on crap! Good luck all!!!!

I started taking this pill about 6 years ago I had alot of weight I HAD to loose and I did about 60lbs on my own then started with Relacore, I lost a total of 150lbs. I also started taking it because of my moods, I was always irritable and upset, after taking Relacore there was a BIG differance in my mood and like I said I droped more weight. When I stoped taking it I gained 50lbs back and have been loosing and gaining the same 50lbs for the last 4 years. I have decided to start up again, I will let you know about my progress.. oh and I didnt loose my hair or have tummy issues. Just FYI not all products will work for everyone and you just have to find out what will work for you. Oh and I also watched what I ate and worked out 5 days a week. So best of luck to you all.

Hello My name is Angela, I been struggling with my weight since 1999. I have diet the hard way just to lose my big stomach, my other body weight will go away but it was my stomach that was a big problem.For a person who works everyday dealing with kids and their studies, it was hard to stay dedicated to a Gym. I can remember when this belly fat pill came out call Relacore. I thought this is another diet pill scam, to my surprise i started to take this pill will slow results. I got my first bottle at the nearest GNC store. The dose was three pills a day with a proper diet, ok when i ran out of relacore i found a bottle at wal-mart and notice the dose was six pills a day.The dose a wal-mart was much better. I notice a change in the second day (REALLY) watch how you eat certain foods with not too much exercise it work great. In order to get a hard rock six pack abs you will have to stay dedicated to a gym or an exercise routine follow by a proper diet.

I have used Relacore for years now, the belly fat definitely disappeared (you could actually feel it working by week 2) but that was a good side effect what I found is that my mood was great and as a result my productivity at work more than tripled so much so my staff wanted me to quit taking the Relacore. My male patterned baldness DID NOT increase or decrease at all.

I averaged 3 pills a day for 30 days not noticing any ill effects at all, with exception that my staff had to work harder to my excessive productivity.

After taking this product for about 3 weeks, I started noticing a sudden change in my hair. My hair became dry, breaking, falling out from the root. And I missed a period completely. I never miss my period. This was a huge mistake for me and I learned my lesson. Be take caution if you are considering this product.

But then like so many others I lost most of my hair. My hair was down to my butt before Relacore and afterwards I was almost bald..

Well I've already committed to the Walgreens $19.99 "discount" of 72 capsules of Relacore eXtra. Sadly, I find the same ingredients in my One a Day men's vitamin that was only $6.99 at Wal-Mart. There is no scientific evidence to prove that it helps you lose weight. All I see are claims that it "increases your mood so you're 'able' to fight abdominal fat..." I think it's BS and really wish I hadn't purchased this product because it's going to end up in the trash. Any supplement that has a star after every "claim" on the front of the bottle because it's not telling you the whole truth isn't worth the money. As for the acne and baldness... I'd rather starve myself for free than pay $20-$40 a month to be bald and broken out. Most of the guys I see out are are already bald and busted without starvation or Relacore. Consider them lucky.

I just want to say, at the advice of my own Dr...she recommended Relacore for my stress and issues with my weight. I only took one dose before work this evening (my first day and first time) 2 pills and I was so calm and relaxed at work and had so much energy I got all my clients taken care of within the first 2 hrs instead of the usual 4. I did NOT at all feel a jittery, coffee feeling with other pills. I am hypoglycemic and need to eat often and didn't even feel the need to eat a thing. I haven't had anything to eat since lunch time and it's now 11:30 pm and I am going to bed on an empty stomach. I don't know what the other days will be for me but today, being the first...I LOVE IT!!

Prior to taking Relacore I suffered from extreme depression for many years that required prescription medication and in turn resulted in severe side effects.

I first tried Relacore almost 7 years ago and thougt it was a fluke that my moods leveled out. When I found out 2 years later that my liver was severly damaged due to the prescription drugs and I would not be able to continue taking them I realized otherwise.

Overall I would say I have had extremely good results with Relacore. In the last 5 years I have not had a major depressive episode and have had no side affects.

I live in Canada and have been purchasing Relacore at Walmart and Shoppers DrugMart . As of late the shelves have been somewhat depleted as Relacore is changing to Relacore Extra and supply of the standard Relacore has been snapped up as soon as it comes in. If this is the case in your area or it is not available Relacore can be purchase online at www.relacore.com. They ship worldwide.

When purchasing Relacore you need to be careful that the packaging is as seen on the website as there have been some knockoffs on the market resulting in nasty side effects. Health Canada issued a warning about a year ago and may still have information on them.

Todate I have not experience any side affects and know of no one personally who has. For reference I take 2 capsules twice daily. I cannot say I've lost weight with Relacore but do notice that my stomach has become flatter over the last few years than it ever what in the 10 years before taking it. Coincidence maybe.

i was taking relacore.. and I experienced diahreah.. so i quit taking it.. maybe i will try it again after reading so many positive things about it.

It's advertised as the stress and belly fat-reducing formula that could help you win the battle with the bulge once and for all. Relacore contains only natural ingredients and is specially formulated to reduce stress and, as a result, belly fat (also known as cortisol). Relacore suggests there is a correlation between the build up of fat in your midsection and stress. Relacore also suggests that this fat in your midsection is the most dangerous in your body as it heightens your risk for some diseases.

Relacore should be taken to compliment a healthy diet and exercise. The supplement is formulated to target hormones to reduce stress. In doing so, you're less likely to eat because of stress or anxiety and will be able to lose unsightly belly fat. It does not try to sell itself as a fat burner, as it is not. Some users have started to see noticeable results in the first two or three weeks of use.

Relacore also offers a nighttime formula (Relacore PM). It offers the same results and ingredients as original Relacore, with the only difference being a sleep aid that is not habit forming.

Relacore primarily contains magnolia bark (or honokiol). It's typically used as an anti-anxiety agent and when taken in small doses does not cause drowsiness. Other ingredients include vitamin C, calcium, biotin, vitamin B6, B12, magnesium and riboflavin. Many other natural ingredients are used, including a proprietary formula with magnolia bark, passion flower, panax ginseng and others.

Relacore advocates the inclusion of a steady exercise program in your efforts to lose weight and while using the pill. MyFreeDiet.com provides personalized programs and professional advice from trainers and dietitians.

CONCLUSION

Stress and weight loss are two major concerns among American women. Relacore claims to be the number one product in America, having helped thousands of women manage their stress and, with healthy diet and exercise, lose belly fat. Relacore includes recognizable, natural ingredients and does not contain any stimulants like caffeine, which are commonly used in diet aids. The website does not go in to a lot of detail and there is not a free trial offered. Relacore suggests visiting with your doctor before using its product to ensure it's right for you.
